EFSA risk assessment

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) conducts risk assessments to evaluate the safety of food and feed. They analyze scientific data to determine potential hazards, such as harmful substances or pathogens, and assess the level of risk these may pose to human health, animals, and the environment. EFSA's findings help inform regulations and guidelines to ensure food safety in Europe. Their assessments are transparent and based on the latest scientific evidence, and they often involve public consultations to incorporate diverse perspectives and expertise in their evaluations.
